*INTERNATIONAL' DROPPED
London, Aug. 20.
A new Western version of a draft declaration proposing international control of the Suez Canal was circulated to the delegates of 22 nations attending the Canal conference today. It contained a concession to the Afro-Asian bloc which objected to the description of the proposed board to operate, maintain and develop the Canal as an "international board".
The new text reveals that the name of the board has been changed to "a Suez Canal board". But observers said the board was still clearly international in character.
